At the start of this period, there was an explosion of settler migration across the British Empire. As a humanitarian response led to the unprecedented demand for land, Britain's Colonial Office moved to protect Indigenous peoples by making them subjects under British law. This book examines the tensions and contradictions that emerged as colonial actors and institutions--including government officials, police, courts, churches, and philanthropic organizations--interpreted and applied the principle of law in their interactions with Aboriginal peoples on the ground. As a comparative work, Fragile Settlements highlights important parallels and divergences in the histories of law and Indigenous-settler relations across the Anglo-colonial world. It questions the finality of settler colonization and contributes to ongoing debates around jurisdiction, sovereignty, and the prospect of genuine Indigenous-settler reconciliation in Canada and Australia."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Aboriginal Australians $x History $z Western Australia $z Western Australia $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Aboriginal Australians $x History $z Western Australia $z Western Australia $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Aboriginal Australians $x History $z South Australia $z South Australia $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Aboriginal Australians $x History $z South Australia $z South Australia $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x History $z Prairie Provinces $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x History $z Prairie Provinces $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $z Australia $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $z Canada $x History $y 19th century. 700 1 $a Smandych, Russell Charles, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n88002628 700 1 $a Knafla, Louis A., $d 1935- $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n82063934 700 1 $a Foster, Robert, $d 1958- $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb2002054779 776 1 $a Nettelbeck, Amanda, author. $t Fragile settlements. $k Law and Society series $k Law and Society series $w (CaOONL)20159086027 830 0 $a Law and society series (Vancouver, B.C.) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2001044761 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017025633.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95E75B1800D411E888826E0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
